We actually had to set our alarm to remind us to get up and feed Kiera. She was more than content to sleep over 3 hours at a time. Fortunately the deal my wife and I have only requires me to help my wife sit up in bed (still difficult for her to sit up from lying down flat).

Good evening everyone.

I started a new thread:

The 1st. in 2010 GTG for the Connecticut Chapter

As I work the evening shift, certainly meet without me and enjoy yourselves.

Hi Don:

My van is in the shop to mount the over-sized tires.
Lockers front & rear with 5:13 gears.
Beefier rear axles.
Fiberglass body work to clear the rear tires.

And, to get my trailer harness to work.

Those look like nice tires..

Did you buy those for the load rating??

I see they are pretty high for the load per tire, but The max speed of 75 mph would get me worried..
